Moon Lit
It's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht the nicht! | |
Last night the moon was full and bright, and I had fun taking photographs of things illuminated only by moonlight.
However the moonlight is rather feeble (15 secs exposure to get a decent image at maximum ISO setting on my pocket camera).
For enhanced artistic and aesthetic usefulness I propose
a large mirror array which would gather moonlight and focus it all onto my front window. It would be nice if it all was channeled down through a lens so that the beam was as parallel and focused as real moonlight is.
I'd be aiming for a normal daylight level of brightness but this might need rather a large array of mirrors.
Curtains or some other system would be needed to stop my house burning down come morning.
Not a new idea

//Curtains or some other system would be needed to stop my house burning down come morning// Why? They shouldn't be pointing anywhere near the sun's path unless you have had a recent eclipse. Also assuming your mirrors are lunacentric. And thatsa soma spicy meatball Rosalina! |

I assumed the designer was stupid enough to have the mirrors automatically track the brightest visible object. |

What is it about moonlight that is so appealing? |
|
| |
Would that appeal be lost or degraded by increasing it's intensity? |
|

Perhaps just wait for Betelgeuse to go supernova. |
